Simplifying Expressions Simplify


Collect all like terms
1. Simplify: 2. Expand and Simplify:
Expand
Multiply out the brackets
6x – 4x2 + 5 – 3x2 + 2x – 1 5(2x + 3) – (4x – 1)

Solving Equations Steps


 If you have fractions, get a
Solve and Check: common denominator on
each side and then cross
3x + 5 = -4 multiply.
 Expand all brackets.
 Collect like terms on the
same side of the equal sign.
 Move all terms with Xs to
one side by performing the
opposite operation.
4x2 – 15 = 469  Move all constants to the
opposite side by performing
the opposite operation.
 Multiply/Divide all terms
by the coefficient of the X.

Opposite Operations
Addition – Subtraction
Multiplication – Division
Solve: Square – Square Root

4x x 3
2(4 – 3x) + 5 = 3(2x – 7) + 5x  2 x

Applications

The cost of a trip to African Lion Safari is shown by the equation T = 21.95C + 29.95A, where T is the
total cost (before tax), C is the number of children, and A is the number of adults.

a) How much would it cost for 2 adults and 3 children, including tax?

b) Andrew took his children to African Lion Safari and it cost $139.70 before tax. How many children
does he have?
